One of the best ways to seed an opportunity is to allow someone to discover the opportunity for him- or herself.

I think we’ve been oversold the value of more and undersold the value of less.

I think we are in a non-essentialist bubble—everything seems important—so of course nothing is.

If it isn't a clear yes, then it's a clear no.

Take a deep breath. Get present in the moment and ask yourself what is important this very second.

Essentialism is not about how to get more things done, it's about how to the get the right things done. It doesn't mean just doing less for the sake of less either. It is about making the wisest possible investment of your time and energy in order to operate at our highest point of contribution by doing only what is essential.

There should be no shame in admitting to a mistake; after all, we really are only admitting that we are now wiser than we once were.
